A real nice layout, but I’m from Australia and the stations have not been named. It means I would have to name them myself possibly with invisible stations before I could run a train on it. It would also be good if you placed a few of the typical passenger trains of that era on a couple of sidings. By doing that, people from other countries would be able to clearly identify your thoughts, when you designed your layout. Otherwise I loved the work you’ve put into it. Cheers.

Hi, I’ve just discovered each of the 4 stations you mention. Kinda cute but with a lot of character.
However in placing a passenger train on that particular line at the Homeland end, in Driver mode it immediately ‘de-rails’ and within 60 seconds the consist disappears. In trying various consists the same thing happened. I have solved that by re-laying the track with an Auran Jarrah and it now works fine.
I also increased the turning circle in each of the Tram Depots and now a Tram can be run continuously. I’ve yet to install a tram stop at each end of the bridge to complete it.
I did have a look at Google Earth of Penn Station and the surrounding areas. You’ve captured it well. Cheers.
